Augrented Insights Report

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 187 Lee Ave in the Ingleside neighborhood, constructed in 1926, has experienced persistent maintenance and legal issues over the past two decades. Most notably, there is an active complaint from January 2025 regarding severe mold problems affecting a senior resident with pulmonary issues, and an active complaint from December 2024 about a stuck front door.

The property has a documented history of illegal unit concerns, with multiple complaints between 2012 and 2023 regarding unauthorized dwelling units, particularly in the previously garage space (187A), which remains under review for regularization. Recent housing violations from April 2023 included pest infestations and maintenance issues, while complaints from 2024-2025 have highlighted mold, deteriorated building conditions, and infrastructure problems such as a leaking toilet.

The building underwent various repairs in the early 2000s, including window repairs, ceiling and wall work, and heating system maintenance, but many of these issues appear to have resurfaced. The property has generated numerous noise complaints throughout 2023-2024, though these are generally not directly related to building habitability issues. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including gas heater replacement and reroofing, though the current state of the building suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
